title: A simple fluorescence assay for the detection of fluoride in water at neutral pH.
abstract: A simple assay for the detection of fluoride in water by fluorescence spectroscopy was developed. The assay is based on commercially available reagents and allows sensing of fluoride in the low millimolar concentration range with high selectivity over other anions.
